Updates

I'm at home with Kenna girl today...an ear infection has given her a 102 temp. Yuck. Went to the Dr. yesterday and got some meds. We are on the up and up for sure now. In the meantime, I'm using my sofa time to update the blog that is so desperately behind. I uploaded pictures from Christmas and Makenna's birthday. Feels good to get caught up and share our happenings. If only for the journaling of it all...if I ever...no...when I get to get caught up with my scrapbooking, it's going to be so wonderful having this as source to turn too. I really want to try out digital scrapbooking. My hubby got me a great some great digi software for Christmas but I have yet to try it out. Maybe I'll get around to that today too.

Valentine Weigh In

It's Valentines week and I wasn't feeling so great about a weigh in. However, I've been keeping up with my points journal and working out pretty regularly. I got a very good surprise on Friday when I did step on that scale. Another 2 pound loss! I've lost a total of 33.2 pounds! Yippee! I also recieved my 16 week stay and succeed charm. I actually should have received it last week but I didn't get to celebrate b/c the school had called to let me know that Peyton wasn't feeling well. I love celebrations! I love visual reminders that I am succeeding and getting closer and closer to my goals. Every sticker and every charm reminds me that I'm one step closer...not to mention that my clothes are getting baggier and baggier. My next big goal is celebrating 45 pounds down. Because that means that I'm half way there.....stay tuned....

Makenna's birthday party

We had the family over for Makenna's 3rd birthday party. We celebrated with pizza, salad, and cake and ice cream.

She got pieces for her doll house, a tutu, a helmet for the bicycle that Uncle Sid bought her for Christmas, and a large play vanity for her bedroom. She also got some miscellaneous Mickey and Minnie Mouse items.

We had a great time watching her in the spotlight. :)

Weight Update

I know I have a lot of posting to do...holiday happenings and lots of pictures. But I wanted to give my weigh in update...I'm down 24 pounds! I made my goal of 20 pounds by New Year...Yea for me!!!!!!! :)

Makenna's 3rd Birthday

We were so fortunate that Papa Chuck was here to celebrate Makenna's birthday with us. We had a small celebration at home because as it turned out, Makenna got sick and was running a fever the day before so we wanted to take it easy on her. We had dinner, opened a few family gifts and then celebrated with cupcakes and ice cream. Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Christmas Morning Highlights 2010

Christmas Morning 2010

Christmas morning was extremely exciting for us this year. This was the first year that we spent the night in our own home and woke up to see what Santa brought us. We usually spend the night at Granna's house but decided this year, we needed to start our own tradition with the kids.

Brian and I stayed up until 1am putting toys together so when Peyton came in at 4am to wake us up, we told him to go back to sleep. He had only woken up because his tummy was hurting. He ended up grabbing a blanket and slept beside our bed. The whole house was asleep until about 8. Now that's more like it!
